Hasta La Ideas

Fresh off his taking over at the Cooper-Hewitt, IDEO co-founder Bill Moggridge will soon be kicking off a series of hosted conversations with important design people, aptly called and homespun sounding, “Bill’s Design Talks.” The first arrives next Thursday the 27th, from 6:30 to 8:00 at the Cooper, but will also be streamed live online; a nice plus for all of you/us outside of that thriving metropolis. And because it’s always wise to start strong, Moggridge has decided to start with as fine a line up as they come. The details:

A partner at Pentagram, critic at Yale and co-founder of Design Observer, [Michael Bierut] is one of the world’s most admired graphic designers. We at Cooper-Hewitt were thrilled with the design that he created for our Triennial exhibition catalog! He will be the first presenter in a new series of conversations, Bill’s Design Talks, moderated by Bill Moggridge.

Yves Ludwig is the graphic designer at Pentagram who developed the full design for the Triennial catalog. She and Michael will show the design process as a case study and discuss the design of this piece in a broader context, followed by a discussion with members of the contributing team at the museum.
